Broadcaster Sky has launched the Smartchange solution as their dedicated employee
community involvement site.
Using the Smartchange solution, Sky employees can search and participate in a diverse range of volunteering opportunities, support any UK charity through payroll giving and charity accounts, create fundraising pages for online sponsorship, support Sky’s official charity, The Chicken Shed Theatre Company, and read news and share stories with employees.
All Sky employees in the UK can access the site over their Intranet or via secure kiosks strategically located around their offices.

Sky is using Smartchange to promote their volunteering policy to employees. Sky gives employees up to 16 hours paid time per annum to volunteer in the community.
Vinay Khosla, Managing Director of Vivid Orange, the providers of the Smartchange solution said: “Smartchange will enable Sky to increase employee participation in the
community while reducing the administrative costs of managing their diverse
and comprehensive community programme.
The community involvement team can concentrate on finding the most appropriate and valuable volunteering opportunities for employees, and help employees raise funds for charities, secure in the knowledge that the entire volunteering and fundraising process is being managed, measured and reported by the Smartchange solution.”
